'Trapped in the end!' said Sam bitterly, his anger rising again above weariness and despair. 'Gnats in a net. May the curse of Faramir bite that Gollum and bite him quick!' 'That would not help us now,' said Frodo.

Sword in hand Sam went after him. For the moment he had forgotten everything else but the red fury in his brain and the desire to kill Gollum. But before he could overtake him, Gollum was gone. Then as the dark hole stood before him and the stench came out to meet him, like a clap of thunder the thought of Frodo and the monster smote upon Sam's mind.

Now he tried to find strength to tear himself away and go on a lonely journey – for vengeance. If once he could go, his anger would bear him down all the roads of the world, pursuing, until he had him at last: Gollum. Then Gollum would die in a corner. But that was not what he had set out to do. It would not be worth while to leave his master for that. It would not bring him back. Nothing would.

Sam and vengeance in today's entry

#idk i have Thoughts about this... rambles ahead...#there's an interesting arc here with how sam approaches his feelings of vengeance in this entry #starting with the first quote. frodo's response to sam is so brief and doesn't get much time to sit with all the action going on #but i feel like it speaks volumes #at least in showcasing the different points they stand on #sam centers his resentment and feelings of revenge... he's quick to get frustrated and immediately goes for threatening gollum #meanwhile frodo is focused on getting out. he doesn't have time to nurse anger nor does he want to #it feels like he's advising sam to move past it because he knows it's futile to stay stuck in those feelings #then there's sam's fight with gollum #after days and weeks of building tension from his mistrust towards gollum... this is where the dam finally breaks #sam's been feeding into his resentment for SO LONG it's no wonder he gets into this state of blind fury towards the end #he set himself up to seek vengeance the moment he gets the opportunity #which in some way i'm sure does help him in fending off gollum... that strength had to come from somewhere #but once he's staved him off he continues to fixate that anger on gollum and forgets what he originally set out to do-- protect frodo #and then we're left with the final quote...#it isn't until sam has (perceived to have) lost everything that he is able to come to the conclusion that vengeance won't serve him #...a lesson learned a little too late?? maybe?? no?? it feels cruel to say that #i definitely do not want to take the position that sam was responsible for what happened to frodo #he was pinned in a horribly desperate situation and couldn't do much once gollum attacked #i don't think much would've changed if he hadn't had his moment of fury with chasing gollum #anyways newbie here-- i haven't read anything ahead from here so idk what character arcs await sam #but i'm interested to see if this is later built upon or acknowledged #end of rambles skdfjgkdjsfg #lotr newsletter #lotr newsletter march 13th #EDIT: I forgot to space the quotes out 😭#not a crime but they can get confusing to read when scrunched together hrnnnn

ravens and bats and the disliked professors

#severus snape #snape #professor snape #pro snape #snape fanart #sybill trelawney #trelawney #professor trelawney #trelawney fanart #i am a snape has greys TRUTHER .#also trelawney is a pisces compatible with sev’s capricorn. my vision is rooted in the stars #(and they’re both compatible with taurus (me) which speaks volumes)#their friendship is mainly giving each other special interest related things (raven) and switching who’s room they eat dinner in (bat)#i can save them both from everyone being evil to them #trelawneys treatment makes me feel like i need a padded cell

the psychological horror created by Hasbro’s desire to sell more toys rather than honour the desires of the original creator resulting in an immortal alicorn princess of friendship doomed to watch her friends grow old and die without her is so interesting to me. by trying to cater to children more you have accidentally created a reality in which death of the main characters friends as she lives on for centuries is not just implied but confirmed. idk it’s fascinating to think about

#EVEN MORESO BY G5 #with discord in the comics clearly descended into misery without fluttershy #their absence speaks volumes #and I know kids are able to handle mature topics like death earlier than we often assume #but still it’s so strange to think about death of the main characters being canon and confirmed in the colourful pony cartoon #wild #mlp #major character death #character death #DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVED THE LAST EPISODE SO MUCH #it’s just !!!!! I wish twilight was growing old alongside them #I don’t like how much she looks like celestia too #she’s grown so apart from her roots it feels like it undoes much of her growth #at the same time it’s the best ending we could’ve hoped for all things considered #I JUST MISS HER ICONIC FRINGE

#pynchedit #adamedit #ronanedit #brydeedit #trcedit #tdtedit #Pynch #Adam Parrish #Ronan Lynch #Bryde #TRC #TDT #quote posts #i'm genuinely shocked still by the lack of fics featuring abusive!Bryde #either exploring the canon dynamic or making use of him in AUs #cuz like........this exchanged stopped me cold when i first read it #it's a dead ringer for when Adam was triggered by cabeswater/the night horror in bllb #are you mad at me? what did i do wrong? have the rules changed? why are you mad? what do you want me to do to make up for it?#and Bryde hasn't even said anything it's just Ronan getting a vibe and immediately jumping to ''i fucked up he's mad what did i do wrong''#it just feels so indicative of their vibe and the atmosphere that Bryde has fostered that that's Ronan's instinct #he doesn't do that with anyone else #i know Bryde is a manifestation of Ronan's own subconscious but that doesn't prevent him from being abusive #dreams have agency once their dreamt and Bryde uses his agency to be a dick to his dreamer alkfdgh #the amount of emotional manipulation and the way he undermines Ronan's confidence in himself #the way he controls Ronan #i'm still not over Ronan looking to Bryde for PERMISSION to see Matthew #i'm just saying ok i'm JUST SAYING this parallel speaks volumes to me it's emblematic of their whole dynamic #i'll shut up now #ps pls write fics with abusive Bryde and/or cult leader Bryde cuz they're the same thing tbh

i'm speaking to a wall actually on this blog BUT one of my favourite underrated snow & emma scenes is when emma breaks down crying and snow instantly says "i have no idea how to comfort my own daughter, it's the first thing a mother learns and i don't know how" honestly this quote has been stuck with me ever since i watched ouat and ppl have the audacity to say snow was the worst mother ever imaginable

#sorry this scene just speaks volumes to me #like she TRIED #yes she made a lot of mistakes in terms of her relationship with emma #but she still Tried and i'm sad that ppl dont see it #anw i love this line sm its so bittersweet and painful but it shows how much snow actually cares for emma #and how much she feels sad that she missed out so many years of raising her daughter like she was robbed #ouat

part of the reason that i feel so weird about "HERE IS MY INTERPRETATION OF CANON AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE YOU'RE WRONG" is because like ... buddy i'm wrong all the fucking time.

#i work very hard to be comfortable with being wrong i think it's an important skill #i find that it's an uphill battle because most of the time the thing i'm afraid of isn't being wrong it's being punished for being wrong #when people say shit like that it makes me feel like they think stories and art are a thing you can *win* at #which i'm sure is fun for some people but if i wanted to join a sport i would join a sport yknow?#i had to hype myself up for like five minutes to post this and that probably speaks volumes

rwby volume 5 is so fucking good EXCEPT for the entire final battle and that i think sucks so much ass

#v5 has so many growing pains 😭 the kingdom feels super empty and culture/vibeless #the crying animation still isnt good lmao #and they have a really bad habit of not balancing events happening st the same tkme #so the huge massive fight scene feels like ten individual fights all poorly spliced together and it's so unfortunate #like. ravens here hot and terrible as fuck. ilia's VA is working overtime. we get all the reunions. VERNAL?????#and then it all kinda falls flat on its face its really unfortunate 😭#also god cinder is so. ngnfjgjfjjgkfjkfjsjhsjjfkdngkdk women i am allo about #anyways. many thoughts head full #mossy speaks #moss watches #rwby #yes im watching rwby again. just in case everything gets taken down. sighs heavily #ALSO ADAM IS AT HIS MOST POWERFUL AND HORRIFYING AND ITS REALLY COOL AS A NARRATIVE HES SO EVIL #AND THE MOMENT HE GETS CAUGHT FROM THE SHADOWS IS JUST. GAHHHHH #its a GOOD VOLUME. EXCEPT.
